Vv. Bezotosnyi et al., NARROWING OF THE BEAM DIRECTIVITY OF HIGH -POWER WIDE-CONTACT-STRIPE INJECTION-LASERS BY MEANS OF AN EXTERNAL MICROSELECTOR, Kvantovaa elektronika, 21(1), 1994, pp. 57-58
Spatial and power characteristics of InGaAs/AlGaAs/GaAs quantum-well h
eterolasers emitting at a wavelength of 940 nm were studied. Using an
external microselector, we obtained an almost single-lobe directional
pattern of the laser with the stripe contact 50 mum wide. The maximum
radiation power emitted into the diffraction-limited main lobe of the
directional pattern was approximately 185 mW. For a fixed pump current
, that power constituted 55% of the total power produced without the s
elector.
